Chad Johnson’s Sunday began in county lockup. It ended with him out of a job.
The Dolphins wasted little time in cutting ties with their embattled receiver, releasing him just hours after he walked out of the Broward County jail.
Johnson faces misdemeanor domestic abuse charges after allegedly head-butting his wife, reality TV star Evelyn Lozada, in front of their Davie home Saturday night. Cops were called, and Lozada, who suffered a three-inch cut on her forehead, plans to press charges, police say.
Johnson made bond about the same time the Dolphins were starting practice Sunday, and was obviously absent. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said later in the afternoon he had not yet spoken to Johnson, but planned to do so immediately.
The conversation did not go well for the receiver formerly known as Ochocinco. Johnson was already on thin ice with the organization after a crude, profanity sprinkled news conference two weeks ago, which earned a stern dressing down by his coach. The lecture was caught by NFL Films cameras and aired on the season premiere of HBO’s Hard Knocks last Tuesday.
Johnson, 34, was supposed to be the go-to receiver in Miami, his hometown and place where he had hoped to resurrect his career.
After 10 sterling seasons in Cincinnati, the Bengals grew tired of his colorful antics, and traded him to New England. Johnson struggled with the Patriots last year, catching just 15 passes.
The Patriots cut him over the summer, and Miami took a chance on him with a no-risk, incentive-laden contract. By cutting him before the season, the Dolphins don’t owe him a dime.

Miami Heat are NBA CHAMPS!
It took 9 long years but LeBron James finally has his first ring!
The Miami Heat were the underdogs going into the NBA Finals series against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the Thunder didn’t have LeBron’s steely determination or his fiery will to win.
The win was bittersweet for Chris Bosh who welcomed a son, Jackson,
during the playoffs. Bosh kissed his baby on the court after the game.
Wade celebrated after the game with his sons who he said were his motivations for playing.
Gabrielle Union was supportive of her man Dwyane Wade. Wade won his 2nd championship title in his 9 year NBA career.
“Happiest day of my life,” said LeBron after the Heat defeated the Thunder 121-106 to win the NBA title Thursday night in Miami.
“It means everything,” James said after the game. LeBron hoisted the NBA trophy before accepting his Finals MVP award. “I made a difficult decision to leave Cleveland but I understood what my future was about. I knew we had a bright future… This is a dream come true for me. This is definitely when it pays off.”
After the game, an emotional LeBron embraced his fiancee Savannah Brinson and their children LeBron James Jr., 7, and Bryce Maximus James, 5.
In post game interviews LeBron said, “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. You just put a lot of hard work into it and one day it will pay off for you. It paid off for me tonight.”
